SAS stores data is individual files per talbe on the operating system in a properietary format (*.sas7bdat), which cannot be read by other applications.
To transfer data from HANA to SAS:
a) push from HANA is not really possible. While SAS provides a ODBC driver it is rarely present and used + may require additional SAS modules (SAS/Share, ...). One may write flat-file export scripts and call SAS to import those.
b) pull, from SAS on can use SAS/Access to HANA (module introduced with SAS 9.4.
To transfer data from SAS to HANA
c) pull from HANA, similarly to a).
d) push from SAS to HANA, similar to b).
